Our Guiding Principles

Elevate digital literacy and understanding

We aim to unpack complexity and make it possible for a wide audience to confidently understand digital.

Bring a human focus to digital

We cannot talk about technology without talking about the people who create it, and the people it affects.

Don’t fear the problems

We believe talking about challenges and unsolved problems is as important as talking about proven solutions.

Make collaboration easy

Open collaboration across government is critical to a secure, digital future. It’s Digital.gov’s job to enable collaboration and make it easier.

Listen

Everything we do is informed by what our audience needs. We apply multiple methods for measuring, listening, and understanding to our products.

Work in the open

We do all of our work in the open and strive to organize our work in ways that allow others to participate.
